New Jersey cancels fourth offshore wind solicitation after bidders drop out -...

The Board was initially supposed to announce its latest round of offshore wind power agreements in December but decided to wait for what would happen when president Donald Trump took over the White House.
One of his first moves on his first day as president was to sign an executive order stopping new offshore wind leases on the country’s outer continental shelf.

American Clean Power Association CEO, Jason Grumet, said that the decision to cancel this offshore wind procurement is a direct consequence of the uncertainty created by the recently issued executive order.

So much for the thousands of high paying job for US citizens.
